I'm looking for some inspiration for some Khorne themed conversions for the following units, anyone can share some ideas, pictures of your own conversions, bits recommendations?

Stormfiends - I'm thinking of using the bodies as is but replacing the heads with Juggernaught or Spawn heads.
Skaven Weapon Teams - Just a couple of dudes toting a massive weapon or alternatively, a Spawn with a weapon.
Ungor Raiders and Kairic Acolytes - Bloodreavers with throwing spears.

I'm heavily leaning towards Stormfiends for my range units, as I don't like Skull Cannons but I really want some range units and more monsters.

Have you considered converting some chaos ogres up to count as your weapons teams. They'd be taller but things like a brutal blunder buss as a warp flame thrower etc on an armoured and spikey ogre would look cool

Khorne Stormfiends just beg to be converted out of Khorgoraths with arm weapons from the Sullcannon and 40k Forgefiend.

I'm digging both ideas. I converted up some ogres for my Chaos Guardsmen army and they were pretty cool. A lot more freedom with bits for 40k though.

I bet they could end up looking pretty brutal and pretty cheap to make though, considering one ogre could be one team and it'd make sense for him to have a lot of wounds.

The only problem I have with Khorogoraths is the really static pose it has. I could easily convert the one I have with different arms and add a few bits and bobs, but I lack the skill th convert it into a more dynamic pose. There's also the problem of finding Forgefiend bits here in the UK, not many bits stores stock it here and I don't really want to pay £12 postage for 6 arms. Those bits do look really cool though.

Maybe a box of spawn with some weapons? Anyway, I made a little mockup of what I was planning before. Basically Stormfiend body with a Skull Cannon and Khorgorath arm. Might do something different with the melee arm, though, cus that could also be quite costly and I'd have a bunch of Khorograth with no arms left >_< I could always use Forgefiend melee arms or just the Stormfiend melee arms. I want as many chaos bits as possible on em though so people think 'Yeah thats a Khorne Stormfiend'

Chaos dwarfs, either the artillery or gunners. One of my favourite short stories from gw (from the good old boxtree days) was about the growth of a small khornate warband into a massive army. Chaos dwarves with a missile launcher were in there early on.

I've ended up going for Stormfiends.

I already had a Khorgorath that I wasn't going to use as is in my army, and I just picked up 2 Rat Ogres from the Spire of Dawn set because I liked their poses all 3 just need a ranged weapon, probably Forgefiend or Skullcannons, and new heads and shoulderpads for the Rat Ogres. I'm thinking of Defiler or Juggernaught heads, along with Slaughterfiend or Dragon Ogre shoulderpads.

So I've ended up going with two isle of blood rat ogres and a khorgorath, all being converted to have Poison Wind Launchers anre more chaos bits on the rat ogres with daemon heads.

I love the idea of Ogres to count as weapon teams, but I'm not happy with the static poses of Ogres and Leadbelchers. Are there any alternative plastic ogres with more dyanimc poses?

I'd also like to have some Khorne themed Kairic Acolytes.
For those I'm thinking of some dudes with throwing spears, but I don't want to use Bloodreavers as the base for them and Marauders are way too dated.

What do you guys think?
